It's Been Pouring—The Book

In It's Been Pouring Rachel Papo plumbs the depths of her postpartum depression, drawing on a community of mothers whose suffering mirrors her own. Through a combination of photographs, interviews and her own emails and texts, she provides a portal into the unbearable tension that exists between the miracle of birth and the potential horror that follows, leading the viewer through a narrative of despair. The sympathetic, yet unwavering lens this project brings to postpartum depression helps build the case that it is, in part, a social problem, largely due to the narrow definition of what our culture means by “mother.”
